1 And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.

2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.

4 It is necessary for Me to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one is able to work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.

6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

7 And He said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, Is not this he who sat and begged?

9 Some said, This is he. Others said, He is like him. He said, I am he.

10 Therefore they said to him, How were your eyes opened?

11 He answered and said, A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and I received sight.

12 Then they said to him, Where is He? He said, I do not know.

13 They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.

14 And it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

15 Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.

16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How can a man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

17 They said to the blind man again, What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight.

19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?

20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

21 but by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.

22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone should confess that He was Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.

23 Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.

24 So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, Give God the glory. We know that this Man is a sinner.

25 He answered and said, Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.

26 Then they said to him again, What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?

27 He answered them, I told you already, and you did not hear. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you not also want to become His disciples?

28 Then they reviled him and said, You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

29 We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from.

30 The man answered and said to them, Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!

31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone reveres God and does His will, He hears him.

32 Since the world began it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind.

33 If this Man were not from God, He would not be able to do anything.

34 They answered and said to him, You were born completely in sins, and do you teach us? And they drove him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had driven him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, Do you believe into the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him?

37 And Jesus said to him, You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.

38 And he said, Lord, I believe! And he did homage to Him.

39 And Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.

40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?

41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, We see. Therefore your sin remains.

1 Ao passar, Jesus viu um cego de nascença.

2 Seus discípulos lhe perguntaram: "Mestre, quem pecou: este homem ou seus pais, para que ele nascesse cego? "

3 Disse Jesus: "Nem ele nem seus pais pecaram, mas isto aconteceu para que a obra de Deus se manifestasse na vida dele.

4 Enquanto é dia, precisamos realizar a obra daquele que me enviou. A noite se aproxima, quando ninguém pode trabalhar.

5 Enquanto estou no mundo, sou a luz do mundo".

6 Tendo dito isso, ele cuspiu no chão, misturou terra com saliva e aplicou-a aos olhos do homem.

7 Então lhe disse: "Vá lavar-se no tanque de Siloé" ( que significa Enviado ). O homem foi, lavou-se e voltou vendo.

8 Seus vizinhos e os que anteriormente o tinham visto mendigando perguntaram: "Não é este o mesmo homem que costumava ficar sentado, mendigando? "

9 Alguns afirmavam que era ele. Outros diziam: "Não, apenas se parece com ele". Mas ele próprio insistia: "Sou eu mesmo".

10 "Então, como foram abertos os seus olhos? ", interrogaram-no eles.

11 Ele respondeu: "O homem chamado Jesus misturou terra com saliva, colocou-a nos meus olhos e me disse que fosse lavar-me em Siloé. Fui, lavei-me, e agora vejo".

12 Eles lhe perguntaram: "Onde está esse homem? " "Não sei", disse ele.

13 Levaram aos fariseus o homem que fora cego.

14 Era sábado o dia em que Jesus havia misturado terra com saliva e aberto os olhos daquele homem.

15 Então os fariseus também lhe perguntaram como ele recebera a visão. O homem respondeu: "Ele colocou uma mistura de terra e saliva em meus olhos, eu me lavei e agora vejo".

16 Alguns dos fariseus disseram: "Esse homem não é de Deus, pois não guarda o sábado". Mas outros perguntavam: "Como pode um pecador fazer tais sinais miraculosos? " E houve divisão entre eles.

17 Tornaram, pois, a perguntar ao cego: "Que diz você a respeito dele? Foram os seus olhos que ele abriu". O homem respondeu: "Ele é um profeta".

18 Os judeus não acreditaram que ele fora cego e havia sido curado enquanto não mandaram buscar os seus pais.

19 Então perguntaram: "É este o seu filho, o qual vocês dizem que nasceu cego? Como ele pode ver agora? "

20 Responderam os pais: "Sabemos que ele é nosso filho e que nasceu cego.

21 Mas não sabemos como ele pode ver agora ou quem lhe abriu os olhos. Perguntem a ele. Idade ele tem; falará por si mesmo".

22 Seus pais disseram isso porque tinham medo dos judeus, pois estes já haviam decidido que, se alguém confessasse que Jesus era o Cristo, seria expulso da sinagoga.

23 Foi por isso que seus pais disseram: "Idade ele tem; perguntem a ele".

24 Pela segunda vez, chamaram o homem que fora cego e lhe disseram: "Para a glória de Deus, diga a verdade. Sabemos que esse homem é pecador".

25 Ele respondeu: "Não sei se ele é pecador ou não. Uma coisa sei: eu era cego e agora vejo! "

26 Então lhe perguntaram: "O que ele lhe fez? Como lhe abriu os olhos? "

27 Ele respondeu: "Eu já lhes disse, e vocês não me deram ouvidos. Por que querem ouvir outra vez? Acaso vocês também querem ser discípulos dele? "

28 Então o insultaram e disseram: "Discípulo dele é você! Nós somos discípulos de Moisés!

29 Sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés, mas, quanto a esse, nem sabemos de onde ele vem".

30 O homem respondeu: "Ora, isso é extraordinário! Vocês não sabem de onde ele vem, contudo ele me abriu os olhos.

31 Sabemos que Deus não ouve a pecadores, mas ouve ao homem que o teme e pratica a sua vontade.

32 "Ninguém jamais ouviu que os olhos de um cego de nascença tivessem sido abertos.

33 Se esse homem não fosse de Deus, não poderia fazer coisa alguma".

34 Diante disso, eles responderam: "Você nasceu cheio de pecado; como tem a ousadia de nos ensinar? " E o expulsaram.

35 Jesus ouviu que o haviam expulsado, e, ao encontrá-lo, disse: "Você crê no Filho do homem? "

36 Perguntou o homem: "Quem é ele, Senhor, para que eu nele creia? "

37 Disse Jesus: "Você já o tem visto. É aquele que está falando com você".

38 Então o homem disse: "Senhor, eu creio". E o adorou.

39 Disse Jesus: "Eu vim a este mundo para julgamento, a fim de que os cegos vejam e os que vêem se tornem cegos".

40 Alguns fariseus que estavam com ele ouviram-no dizer isso e perguntaram: "Acaso nós também somos cegos? "

41 Disse Jesus: "Se vocês fossem cegos, não seriam culpados de pecado; mas agora que dizem que podem ver, a culpa de vocês permanece".
